I Am an Alien Too

I am an alien too.
I do not belong here.
This is not my home.
I am a foreigner;
A white man on native land,
Descendent of usurpers.

I am an alien too.
There is no place for me
     in this economy.
I must commodify
     parts of me,
And compromise
     the integrity of the rest,
Or starve,
Or beg,
Or languish on a beach.

I am an alien too.
You should deport me.
I have trespassed against God Himself.
Deport me to Sheol.

I am an alien too.
Jesus has forgiven me
- And he forgave you -
Of our trespasses.
May we forgive those who trespass.

I am an alien too.
Aren't we all travelers here?
In the final estimation,
Do we really own anything?
Does anyone belong 
     to a state?
A great many good people
     never found a place to fit.
And a great many decent people
     were corrupted by the place 
     they were given.

I am an alien too.
